Therefore, we have a piece of legislation that isn't as impactful as
I would like, and yet it is here on the floor under suspension with the
idea that we can move this along and frame the Department of Homeland
Security's duties in the fashion that is here. I don't object to the provisions that are in the authorization
language that exists, but I would point out that it sets the stage, and
now there is an agreement that has been reached through a number of
entities, including the White House, the DOJ, the DHS, and I understand
from our leadership and others, that soon there will be the piece of
legislation that we refer to as Davis-Oliver. In Davis-Oliver, we actually have the enforcement provisions that are
necessary to restore the respect for the rule of law, and especially
the domestic enforcement of our immigration laws. We are setting the stage for that and clearing the path for that with
this rule on the legislation that will pass, I believe, under
suspension.
